Michelle Brown

Recently drew a picture of Michelle, a Dino Squad fancharacter of mine, entirely in Photoshop with the mouse (I have no tablet).

I also recorded myself drawing the picture. I've been meaning to do at least one of these kinds of videos (ones that show the progress of a picture from start to finish), but never got around to it.

Wow. Liked the video. It was neat to see the process by which you draw. Is this how you usually do your artwork?

Maybe I should try that technique of using circles to plot out joints before drawing limbs. (Actually, you might have even suggested that to me, but I forgot. )

I’m amazed by how little you erase or redo lines. Mainly because I do it constantly while drawing.

The picture itself looks a little rougher than most of your artwork I’ve seen, but still impressive (especially considering you did it all with a mouse). For some reason I find myself intrigued by the shading. The legs look a little short to me, however.

I draw somewhat like this on paper. The main difference is that the sketch part is more..sketchy and more closely resembles the finished drawing. Oh and I don't always draw the sketch/outline in this order. Sometimes I start drawing out other parts of the body. Depends.

And yeah I noticed the legs were a tad short. It's difficult for me to draw with the mouse so I anticipated the picture wouldn't look as good as it would have on paper. I had actually redone the picture several times before I started getting the hang of drawing it.

Sometimes I do erase lines a lot on paper if I don't like the way they look. I don't like erasing too much too often though because it kinda ruins the paper I think.

I liked how you draw there the process was intresting.

That's the main reason I've started using Photoshop lately; I can use it to remove eraser marks and other unwanted lines on scanned pictures. One of these days, though, I'm going to get myself a drawing tablet, and try to learn to create pictures on Photoshop.
